A friend just bought the Samsung LED TV, its about 60". The picture is unreal. Very high contrasts, super sharp and of course 1" thin. The thickness is not the big deal... the picture amazing.
I've not seen a consumer TV look as good as this. But its also ODD looking at times. It'll take a while to get used to it.
Gee... Did I say that the LED is the same as OLED?
LED back-lighting on notebooks and now on TVs is worth it. Less heat, lower weight and space.
With the sharpness of OLED and even LED-LCD... I think HD1080 isn't sharp enough. Really need Digital cinema 4K to make the picture even SHARPER on 50+" TV Sets.
24~26" is very sharp for 1080p video... but it turns grainy on 56" HD-TVs. DC-4K = 3996 × 2160 1.85:1 That is 4x the picture data compared to HD 1080! (8.6M pixels compared to 2.1M!)
The ladies will be even more pissed... Porn will be... well... wow!
I guess 4K will come out about 10~20 years from now. I think many of us will be too old to care.
@belardo, sharpness is relative to dpi not resolution, so it would only look grainy compared to the smaller tv's if you're at the same distance. If you're farther back it's gonna look sharper.
If the 30" panels are for tv's, then when we will see them for monitors? WQXGA resolutions combined with OLED technology would be so damn amazing, it's mindblowing just thinking about it. Well worth the thousands it'll cost
Japanese broadcaster NHK has come up with what they call Super Hi-Vision, and it puts HD to shame with an insane resolution of 7680x4320. Yeah, that's the equivalent of 16 HDTVs crammed into one.ts
7680*4320...
That seems about right to me.
My fathers boss wants to spend 10k on a 1900x1080 plasma... What a waste. Resolution, to me, is the most important factor. Quality comes second!
hope its more healthy to look at all day, I for one spend most of my day staring at an LCD monitor at work, just to come home and watch my LCD tv. I'm not saying that LCD is unhealthy - I wouldn't know - but it would be nice to know that my eyes weren't going to fall out in 10 years.
